Service Wins , Marine Corps Air Station, San- "ta Barbara, Calif—Colonel Law~ son H. M. Sanderson, veteran Shelton, Wash, Marine Corps flyer, has been awarded the Le- gion of Merit for “exceptionally meritorious conduct in the per- formance of outstanding service to the Government of the United States.” ' In ceremonies at this statiOn, where he is commanding officer of a Marine air group, the cov- eted medal was pinned on his blouse by Major General J. 'C. Fegan,-of Camp Pendleton, Calif. ‘ Colonel Sanderson, who already wears. the Distinguished Flying Cross for having -Inade the first dong overwater hop, was given the Legion of 'Merit for his work, 'as , operations officer of a Marine airo' jcraft wing during action against the Japs on Guadalcanal during three months late in 1942'.

It is the fourth highest given to Naval Personnel. .Colonel Sanderson, whose‘ wife and two children, Lawson, 16, and Doris, 19, live in Santa Barbara, Calif, is a veteran of 27 years i in the Corps. He is generally con- lsidered the father of dive bomb- ving. He participated in the cam- paigns in Haiti and Nicaragua, and established world air speed records for the years 1925 and 1926. . The citation read in part, “Charged with the coordination, supervision and tactical employ- ment of all Army, Navy and Mar- ine Corps aircraft based on Guad- alcanal, Colonel Sanderson per- formed these important duties ef- ficiently, courageously and with complete disregard for his own personal safety . . . in the face of repeated enemy bombing and naval gunfire." l .

At its meeting last week the Shelton. Active Club voted toagain put on the annual Easter Egg'hunt if at all possible. , ' ' The Easter Egg 'hunt, ‘an an- nual event for many years; was . one that the children of the com lmunity looked forward to, and it iwas with regret that the Club called off the’ event last year be- ‘ cause of the shortage ‘of' food. At the present time however there is a surplus of eggs so that i the organizatiOn feels that they can again put on the affair With- out wasting valuable foOd pro— ducts. ' ‘ President Pete Melin appointed Ed McKinney as chairman of the Egg hunt with a committee -of Dean Archer and Gene Hanson. A site for the affair has not' been chosen as yet. Because the city park is badly torn up for reno. vation purposes'it is possible that this year’s hunt will be held at the ball. park.

Schlange {Scout Drive Continues ‘In Shelton Solicitors were busy this week mopping up the last prospects in the current Boy Scout Fund cam- paign which began last Saturday. The drive has proved very suc- cessful with a large amount of money already turned in, Herb Ddurand, local chairman announc~ e . Durand also requested all men! working on the campaign to turn in their money to their team cap- tains as soon as possible. A check- in meeting was held at the Hotel Shelton last evening. As an illustration of the poten- I tial benefit to be derived from Scouting, Durand pointed out that the value of the paper, metal and otl r materials collected by the S'outs since the war started, in Mason county alone, more than tops the entire aiiiourr. of money raised in drives here for the Scouts since they met organized .ll this district.

It was also announced that a new Scout troop is being formed in the Skokomish Valley and that Hoodsport’s troop is being re—or- ganized. i {Fuel Oil Men lMeet Tuesday l The District Office of Price Ad— ministration has called a very important meeting for all fuel oil dealers in Mason county. It is to be held at the Ration Board on March 17, 1944, at 8 o'clock p. m. We are: faced with a severe shortage of fuel oil and must have the cooperation of everyone to prevent hardships for many. i In general, fuel oil is much too ,Scarce to permit giving out extra rations ’just‘ because a consumer‘s supply runs low. People are ex— pected to make their rations last. No matter how many rations the board issues, the oil supply re- mains the same. If a. board grants too many additional rations, there will not be enough oil to go , around. Wasteful c o n s u In e r 5 should not be permitted to get oil which should go to those who have been more careful with their rations. So, will all fuel oil dealers please attend the meeting. The informal. tion they receive will be to their advantage. Red Cross Is Active Overseas of Belfair receiVed an interest~ ing note recently from Cpl. Tech. Kay L. Thompson, a relative, from somewhere in the British Isles. It is a large sheet of paper with six short articles written by Er- nie Pyle, an American newspaper reporter who wrote a series of articles about the American Red Cross and ‘what it is doing for the soldiers. These six articles are on various phases of work done overseas by the Red Cross for the boys there and is quite interesting. On the back page is a blank space for a note and Corporal Thompson states that,this paper was picked up at the Red Cross Club in Bath, where he stopped while doing a little sight seeing. He. says, “I thought it might be fairly interesting and you may like to road it, so am sending it to you. It gives you a good idea how we arc trcated over here.“ House Refuses To Limit Debate itespording to the appeal of Governor Langlie for a short ses- sion and consideration only of the soldier’s vote plan, which the Sen- ate voted to follow, the House re- fuses to join and plans to bring, up other issues. Former Governor Martin. appointed to vacancy and with an eye on the Senate, heads the movement to increase the pen- sion limits from $40 to $50, and the resolution to limit the session was voted down.

ECo nsolidatio jOf Schools Discussed A discussion of the new school district reorganization law was had at the Kiwanis Club Tuesday bringing the new 'subject to the attention or the public with its good and bad points. Robert Trenckmann was in charge of the program, and the meeting was attended by several teachers and directors of outside districts where revisions are planned. The subject, wasbopened by Rep- resentative ' Savage who explained the operation as passed by the 1941 Legislature, intended to correct inequalities in school districts, some dating back to the early days when districts were formed in settlements which have now so grown or changed in population or lost in taxing revenues that they cannot be carried on without state support. By regrouping in many cases better facilities can be giv- en school children, he stated. Henry Turner of the state de- partment of education, who is urg- ing consolidations OVer the state, reviewed the purposes and illust- rated by chart the inequities of the old lines and pointed out how changes and consolidations would make for better education of child- lern as well as higher students in centralized high schools, make the poorer districts more self-support- ing and independent of the state, Continued on Page Seven) Drew Buys Winery Interest An important business trans- action was recorded last week with the purchase by H.

Persons who contribute to the =fund will receive a. metal lapel iflag with Red Cross symbol. l The Mason county quota has. been set at $11,200 and the nation- lal goal is 200 million dollars. In ‘order to meet these quotas, the ,average family must contribute ‘$7, $6.30 of which will be spent on direct services to the armed forces, the other 70 cents into a. disaster relief fund and other ser- vices. l Ed Perdue, fund chairman for 'Mason county, yesterday urged everyone to give generously. “Red Cross knows no race, col- "or or creed." he said. “It is the greatest mother in the world. It is the connecting link between us all in time of need, war, disas- ter or distress.” Women Needed Far Housework An appeal to women to do housework “was issued this week by the Ideal nurse‘s organization in order to free imarried nurses so that they may work at the hospital during the present emer- gency. It was pointed out that of the 18 nurses required for the effi- cient operation of the local hos- pital, only eight will be left by the end of this week. Local mar- ried women, with nursing exper- ience, have cooperated splendidly, but the need to care for their homes and children, and the diffi- culty of securing somebody to help them is stopping most from working at the hospital. r Any women interested in ac- cepting positions for housework and care of children are asked to contact Mrs. Ken Blanchard at 193W. l ‘ MARRIAGE LICENSES Paul Sharp, Bremerton and Theresa Bryson, Castle Rock; Llewllyn E.
